Beyond Restart: Checkpointing for the Exascale Era

The HPC User Forum was established in 1999 to promote the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users. In April 2023, the 82nd HPC User Forum took place in Princeton, New Jersey. This update summarizes a presentation from that conference given by Travis Humble, who is the director of the Quantum Science Center (QSC), and a Distinguished Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he is the director of the lab's Quantum Computing Institute. This presentation gave highlights and updates on the goals and activities of the lab as well as insights into the national strategy for quantum technology.

The HPC User Forum was established in 1999 to promote the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users. In April 2023, the 82nd HPC User Forum took place in Princeton, New Jersey. This update summarizes a presentation from that conference given by William Dorland, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's (PPPL) first associate laboratory director for computational science. A renowned computational physicist, Dorland leads the effort to fulfill PPPL's expanded mission to develop computational science as a core capability that will provide high-performance computing support to understand and predict fusion plasma physics, design fusion facilities, and simulate complex plasma phenomena. His discussion at the April 2023 meeting covered some of the recent laboratory activities as well as milestones and his vision for the future.
